Seagrave lost their Indiana dealership, Hoosier Fire, supposedly inciting low sales, and hard to sell products (I assume this, due to price, because Indiana departments ALL seem to have the same tight budgets somehow, and Pierce and Ferrara have made a sweep the last couple of years). While the debate of high cost/high durability vs. you can buy a Seagrave for under $400,000 may last a lifetime, I only know what I've been told. So with dropping Seagrave, they picked up Smeal (quite the opposite end of business, if you ask me) and Carmel Fire Department, which is North of Indianapolis, has supposedly went the Smeal route, after purchasing 2 Marauder II Engines and a Marauder II tiller, because there are no longer any Indiana service centers.
Personally, I feel if you can afford them, you won't regret the purchase of a Seagrave, and while they've became increasingly popular in Central Indiana over the last few years, we're still a far cry from having a significant amount of them here.
